A New Stuffie & Hangin' With the Sisters

Check out the size of this thing!

It's been a PAWSOME week! First, I had pretty much destroyed all of my stuffies, so Mommy got me a brand new one. Stuffies are my very favorite, you see. They are fuzzie like us doggies and they are great for tugging or fetching. Stuffies also make give great snuggles and are amazing chew toys. I am very good about only chewing on MY stuffies and not my sisters'. Sometimes I make a mistake, but I always "drop it" when I'm told. Mommy has had to make sure the girls know to tell me "drop it" rather than try to pull it out of my mouth, 'cause then I think they're trying to play tug, and the game is on! And believe it or not, I do obey my sisters. Mommy has made sure to include them in all my training and basic household manners. They are able to give me food and water without me jumping or pushing them (us Dane's are leaners and "paw pushers", you know). I will sit and wait for them when they let me out of my crate or inside from the back yard. I will also get "out" of the kitchen or bedroom when told, but I usually only obey Avery, the big sister, on this one.

Nom Nom Nom, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp

Sometimes Brynan's tummy rubs are a little too rough.

Everyone asked Mommy if it was a good idea to get such a big dog while she had small kids. Mommy always said any dog can be dangerous to kids if both the dog and the kids are not taught how to behave. That is the main reason Mommy chose to get a puppy rather than a grown rescue. She couldn't risk a doggie with bad habits being around the little girls. This way she was able to "start from scratch" on training and behavior. Now I've grown up around the little ones, I'm used to their silliness, and sometimes not-so-gentle play. Mommy always mediates, but we all make mistakes sometimes, and she knows I will be patient with the first mistake until Mommy can step in. We also allow the "soft bite" (at least on Mommy and Daddy) to show me to be gentle with human hands in the mouth. Some say this is bad, others say it's good; Mommy just knows it's sometimes simply a reflex to nip and when that happens, Mommy wants me to "check myself" when I find a human hand in my mouth.

Her mouth is closed, but she's not biting down.
I often let her do this with my hand or arm, and she always
lets go when I tell her "eh"

So, speaking of my sisters, it's been kinda cold here in Texas this week, with highs in the 50's, and dropping to the 30's-40's at night (yes, that's cold in Texas!). The girls and I haven't wanted to play in the backyard much, so we've been hanging out inside. Winstin was hangin' with us too. Look how cute we all are:

I tried to get in this picture too, but as usual, Winstin wouldn't let me near HIS Avery! Humph!

Hi Jasmine, wow a brand new stuffie. It looks grreat. Our mum says she will get us some new toys soon. She loves the Op Shops for toys for us. Your coat is very shiny and beautiful. Your little beans are super cute too.

Mum agrees with the soft bite. We practice and I never bite hard, mum always says 'gentle Rory' and tells me I am a good boy. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

Woo, Jasmine! Your mom is really smart to socialize you so well with your sisters! Can I ask you something? The little biped Brynan? Does she need practice giving tummy rubs? 'Cuz I'm available for a training aid. No, really. She can practice on me ANY time! Woooo!!! Tummy rubs are my FAVORITE!It was really nice to see Winstin!Luv,Dave

Your mom is very smart. Sounds like she is training you the right way, with your adorable little beans involved. And I am very impressed that you already listen to commands, even by your little beans. You are a very smart pup and I know you will be an excellent adult doggy!

Soft bite training is good. I was approximately 1.5 years old when my human, K, adopted me and when she brought me home I was very rough in my play. I must not have been taught that humans require soft play, and only rough play should be with my doggy buddies. K worked with me and I soon learned that soft bites are best with humans. You are on the right track, Jasmine! Keep up the good work!

p.s. Love all the photos! And sorry about my deleted comment above - an error on my part.

Yes, Stuffies is pawsome! You is being a good boy and learning well. I like to nibble and pick up human hands, I has a pointy little mouth so Mum wanted me to learn how hard I can bite to hurt and learn not to rather than never being allowed to touch human skin and the first time being a hard time. Winston has got those sheltie mean teeths down!

Every individual faces that unfortunate time of suffering the loss of a loved one sooner or later. And it stays true that though the person passes away to afterlife, their memories haunt their loved ones forever. It becomes impossible to move on from these memories, as there are various emotions attached to them, be it the moments of sadness or the ones filled with happiness, or even the ones of secrecy. It is true that the value of a human being cannot be judged while he is alive, but when he dies, the true value appears. This value isn't measured in gold or currency, but in the form of tears and memories.
